Game designer, dancer, and menace. The living epitome of "bangers only".

If you don't know me from my games, you should actually check them out. Some of them are good. Some of them are intentionally bad.

Hi, I'm Vex. I make games! You can even get my games on Itch (see bio).

Things I post about:
* Games!
* UI I fucking hate.
* Podcasts that fester my brain.
* The lack of media literacy in anime spaces.
* Maybe dance or poetry...

Read this thread to learn all the shit I can't stop thinking about.
We can't keep insisting things art art forms while simultaneously throwing award shows for them.

POV: you're shitting and the cat is way too big. The walls are closing in. Shouldn't have taken two tabs of acid, but you live on the edge. Also you listen to GUTTER podcast. It doesn't help with the trip. It makes it much worse. Though your soul -will- go to heaven so the trade-off is respectable.
beautiful day for GUTTER

They had a haunted building problem so she fired a tanker truck at it.

There is like a half-chapter update every fortnight or so and all of them have panels like this.

I can't imagine not knowing about End of the World Stagnation Committee, because it is always like this.

This is doing really well and I want it to continue doing really well. The ban is stupid as hell and I think we should choose to stop making the world worse, because that would be a cool thing for humanity to do.

If you know anyone who would be interested in the bundle, give them a shout.
Have a look at some of the ttrpgs that are part of our bundle, there's an amazing breath of creativity in the kiwi ttrpg scene!

There's something for everyone and the money goes to helping roll back bigotry: itch.io/b/3421/ban-t...

Man the timeline is fucking dark today. How is this a holiday season? This is about as holy as the spit of a Tassie devil.

AFAIK this is the worst thing Mangioni has done (working in the Civilization franchise)

I would never have thought that we'd be well over a quarter of the way to our goal *on the first day!*

Everyone, your generosity has absolutely stunned me. Including folks who have given their platform to support us.

If you haven't... pick it up, it's for a good cause!

I put Our Father's Land, BIG TOUGH SHIRT GUYS, and Male Witch Generator in this FYI.

A couple things I want to check out in there are Green Corridor and Explorers of the Forever City.

Guys you won't believe what happened. I didn't lose. I softlocked the game and had to restart.

Also I won the first game. It says right there on the part of the screen that doesn't have numbers.

I'm finally actually playing the Dirtbag Mahjong demo the way it's meant to be played: only barely knowing some things about mahjong and not reading the explanation.

Look forward to the update saying I immediately lost the first game.

Mahjong is zero sum.
what they don't tell you about mahjong is it inevitably always goes like this

The worst part of December isn't the Christmas music, but seeing everyone's Spotify wrapped and realizing they're listening to bad music for the other 11 months too.

There should be an RPG where you play out the wildest dreams I've had because I want a game with this fucking pacing.

I also need one about the mech combat sport dream I had, so that too.

I Wonder how I can set pacing like this mechanically. Might ask the KiwiRPG crew for vibes on this.
Dreamt that the sea was rough. Then it was covering the third floor window of the building I was in. Then the floor above us was torn off the building entirely. Nothing in the world has ever happened so fast.

For a while I've been meaning to sit down and write some intro threads about my games. But what I really wish I could do is just collate all the vibe posts I've made about each of them because IMO that would give you a better understanding than just me explaining the premise.

This conversation feels very parallel to TTK in shooter games, where the viability of a weapon in a PVP sandbox is not how sleek the weapon's overall performance is, but how quickly it can kill a player.

An RPG's viability is not how sleek the rules are but how quickly a newbie can understand it.
The bait is me cheekily going “shadowrun is a rules light game” btw - I’ve taught enough people to play that I can say with confidence “its reputation is way overblown; the core is pretty simple and it’s mainly organization and presentation which is intimidating”, I can get folks rolling in minutes.

My favorite trick in music is when someone yells "GUITAR!" and it's the cue for the mildest, chilliest guitar solo possible. It's so funny every time. I don't even know if they're doing it as a bit.

Chaucer and Godsmack is funny in a way I could not possibly explain.

working a comedy show. both the openers no-showed, so my coworker (not a comedian) got on stage, had the sound guy intro him with a godsmack song, read a chaucer poem in middle english, then said "well, that's my time," and introduced the headliner. bravest thing i've ever seen. very high-concept.

RPG games should have a strawberry soju item where first two turns after you drink it you take no damage but after it ALL hits at once like real soju

A wild last boss appears

Dans la forme c'est assez classique... et dans le fond aussi en fait

Mais en vrai j'ai quand même envie de voir la suite pour voir comment ça va tourner

Point positif: c'est bien animé, le/la protag est badass et CET OPENING TOP TIER
